摘要:
In a storage system, a disk device performs recovery and transfers read data to a control device, and the control device judges the validity of the recovery to prevent a transfer of erroneous data. A control device read-accesses a disk device, and the disk device returns read data and a recovered read error response. A control device, at the time of an initial recovered read error, performs a retry of a similar command, and if an error does not occur for read commands including the retry read command, judges the data to be valid. Uncertain data (suspect data) upon occurrence of a recovered read error is restored through disk retry, and accurate read data can be transferred to the host.

In a RAID apparatus, an error determining processing unit determines whether an HDD is normal based on an error determining condition obtained from an amount of increase of NON MEDIUM ERROR COUNT and the number of accesses memorized on a control table, and detects the HDD with abnormal performance.

摘要:
A device adaptor that controls a disk, wherein a storage area is divided into a plurality of blocks, detects a block that includes a read error. Next, the device adaptor detects a write omission in blocks that are within a predetermined range from the block that includes the read error. To be specific, the device adaptor reads data from the blocks that are in the vicinity of the block that includes the unrecovered read error in a suspect disk. Next, the device adaptor reads from a redundant disk, data of a block that corresponds to the block that includes the unrecovered read error (data of block “B” in an example shown in FIG. 1) and compares the read data to the data read from the suspect disk to detect the write omission.
摘要:
The present invention has been made to obtain a magnetic disk apparatus and the like capable of using a patrol region in the magnetic disk to detect a location in need of maintenance in hardware equipment around the magnetic disk in a separate manner from the disk itself and thereby avoiding useless replacement and operating the magnetic disk apparatus at low cost. In a preventive maintenance detection for a magnetic disk apparatus having a patrol function that uses a patrol region in the magnetic disk to determine the presence/absence of the need of preventive maintenance, a data pattern for detecting crosstalk in hardware equipment around the disk is generated, a write command or read command corresponding to the generated data pattern is executed, and the crosstalk is determined/detected based on the command execution result.

A RAID apparatus includes a plurality of recording devices, a first adaptor connected to a first interface which is connected to a high-level apparatus, a controller for controlling processing of data transmitted by the high-level apparatus, and a second adaptor that connects to a second interface connected to a plurality of recording devices. The controller has a first memory area in which said data are stored, a second memory area used for a write-back of the data in said plurality of recording devices, a write-back information control unit controlling a write-back type of data stored in the first memory area and a usage state of the second memory area, a write-back data determination unit for determination of data to be written-back based on the write-back information, and a write-back execution unit for executing a write-back of the data to be written back on the plurality of recording devices.
摘要:
A storage system has a plurality of disk storage devices and a controller for controlling the plurality of disk storage devices, and diagnosis of a write miss to a disk of the disk storage device. The controller for controlling the plurality of disk storage devices attaches an ID to write data, and after write access to the disk drive, the controller reads the write data from the disk drive, and compares the ID of the read data and the attached ID. The controller updates the ID for each write command. Therefore the old write data and the new write data can be identified, accurate diagnosis is possible, and the failure of an individual disk drive can be detected immediately.

摘要:
A RAID system access a physical disk according to a host I/O request, and perform Rebuild/Copy back processing, for implementing high-speed Rebuild/Copy back processing without interrupting the processing of a normal I/O. When one disk device out of a plurality of disk devices constituting the RAID configuration fails, the processing size for one time of Rebuild/Copy back to reconstruct the RAID is changed according to the presence of a normal I/O managed in RAID control. When a normal I/O is present, Rebuild/Copy back can be executed without interrupting the processing of the normal I/O, and in a static state where a normal I/O is absent, a processing size larger than the size in that state can be specified so as to implement Rebuild/Copy back processing at high-speed.
